If you were a therapist, would you take me serious

I am 14 years old and I am a FTM. It is NOT a phase. I have felt this way for a while now. I came out to my parents when I was 13 1/2 and they are still learning to accept it everyday. I currently bind my chest with an Underworks and I am planning on purchasing a Mango pack and pee soon (there are issues when trying to check out).

I am serious about wanting testosterone, I think about it everyday and my longing to be a boy. I understand it requires sessions of therapy and I really want to undergo it. Will it be possible to be put on testosterone at 14 or 15?

I am located in Massachusetts, if that helps. I have a short haircut, dress male and insist on being called by my chosen name, Nicholas. I feel like I am in a freak suit. I feel degraded when I have to use the restroom. Honestly, degraded. It feels wrong sitting down. I refuse to acknowledge I have breasts, I feel as if they are not mine but simply a body suit that has been super glued on to me. I imagine tearing them off. I am not menstruating, I fear everyday that it might start.

When I stick a pair of rolled up socks down my underwear, I honestly go, "there, that is what is missing". It feels as if it is missing and it feels right for something to be there. Almost like an amputated limb that has been returned...

Thankfully I lucked out in the gene department and got no hips, one less thing to worry about. I am also 5'9 and continuing to grow.

I am currently dating a woman a few years older than me. She calls me Nicholas and uses male pronouns and it makes me so happy. I do not consider myself gay. I feel like a straight male. I remember being attracted to women when I was 8.

Whenever female pronouns are used for me, I cringe and feel my heart sink into sadness with the desire for the words to be him and he.

First I think that if you find a therapist an they think that this is just a phase or something similar that you would need to find a new one. I am a male-female trans. and from what you discribed I think that you have a good case to present to a proffesional therapist. Just remember that no-one can tell you what you feel or how to feel it. Also remember that no matter what anyone says you have the right to feel how you want.

If you feel the need to chat my contact info is in my profile. Feel free to drop me a line if you want.

I just want to congradulate you on telling your parents at such a young age. I'm going through the same exact thing you are except i'm 20 and yet to tell my parents. im terrified just imsgining what their responses would be. But yes, if i was a therapist i would most deffinately take you seriously. A therapist cannot tell you who you are and who you are not, theyre just there to help you along the way.

I really hope this all works out for you, and hope to hear about your updates in the future. good luck =]

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
